VALIUM 67

VALIUM 67 — Greece A 67-foot custom catamaran built to a simple idea: space you can actually live in, on a platform that stays level under sail. The appeal here is restraint rather than ornament — clean lines, generous volume, and the particular calm that comes from a wide beam at anchor. Accommodation is unusually consistent for a yacht of this size. Five cabins host up to ten guests: four with a double bed, and a fifth fitted with twin beds. No one is relegated to a lesser corner of the yacht, which makes VALIUM 67 a natural fit for two or three families cruising together, or a group of friends who would rather share a hull than a hotel corridor. The catamaran format does the rest. Shallow draft opens up anchorages a monohull of comparable length has to admire from a distance — the sheltered inlets of the Cyclades, the quieter bays of the Ionian, the sort of spot where you swim before breakfast because the water is right there, a metre below the steps. Greece is the cruising ground, and it suits the yacht: short passages between islands, long lunches at anchor, and evenings spent on deck watching the light go from gold to violet over the water. Your crew handles the navigation, the provisioning and the table, and leaves you the part that matters.
